what they say....
Ann is the very best. She is no-nonsense and focuses on what choices will get you the job. She has a keen sense of the shape of a scene, and also what visually makes for an interesting audition. She can make the smallest suggestion, that sets you apart. As a European-based actor, Ann is able to imbue my auditions with a decidedly American slant. And with so many productions being cast out of Europe, I immediately have a leg up on the competition. When I accept my Emmy, I will be thanking Ann!!:-)

Ann Hamilton is one of the best coaches out there. She always elevates my auditions. She helped me book one of my dream roles on SUCCESSION (HBO) and got me booked on AMERICAN HORROR STORIES (FX) as well! One of my favorite catchphrases of hers: "Just do your job." and she will get you booked on yours!

Ann Hamilton changed the game for me! An incredibly talented, knowledgeable artist herself, she knows the industry so well. Her classes and coaching will help you master the art of the self-tape. I
use techniques she has taught me every single day. Since working with Ann I have gained so much confidence as a performer and so much knowledge as a professional. Work with Ann! She's legit!

Ann’s class was a straight-up game-changer for my craft. She knows how to create a space that’s both supportive and fun, where I really learned how to play as an actor. Her guidance helped me build a solid foundation, and she pushed me to connect deeper with my work, unlocking new levels of creativity and confidence within me.
--Marchael Giles--Succession
I’ve worked with Ann in her legit and commercial workshops, in-person technique classes, and audition coaching sessions. I met my agent through one of her workshops and have since booked my first network co-star. In all her classes, one thing remains constant: her ability to bring out my most truthful self. I know when I show up in Ann’s class I’ll be held accountable for what I can control in my career (and receive insight into what I cannot), get feedback that’ll help me remove the artifice from my work and reveal the human behavior underneath, and gain encouragement from a community of artists.
--Katie Suchyta--American Sports Story
Ann's classes are a combination of working on sides, tips about the business, and a lot of laughing from Ann's sense of humor. She gives easy-to-understand notes and makes you feel comfortable being you so that you can have believable human behavior on camera. She cultivates a room of massive support, but also makes you want to work hard and take your career into your own hands. You leave every class feeling good about your acting. I love my agent and manager and attribute getting them both to my time with Ann.

Ann is hands-down my favorite coach in NYC. She always meets you where you are, and her approach is first and foremost to deliver an authentic performance from you, the person. Because of Ann, I've made invaluable connections with industry professionals which has led to steady work in tv, film, and theater. I couldn't recommend Ann more!
--Bradley Lewis
I've worked with Ann for several years and I affirm that she creates a learning environment where everyone feels comfortable bringing their most unadulterated selves to the table. Her style is simple, yet effective, and she equips you with the necessary tools to be successful as a working actor. She strips acting down to the basics and makes the process actionable and efficient which is paramount given how we audition today.

Working with Ann is pure magic. Her keen eye, sense of humor and genius direction will give any actor a leg up on a self tape audition. She is a rare gem.
